I think it's neat that songs from KPop Demon Hunters are getting regular radio play here.

"Bluesky is boring."

Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually.

When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

I am watching Severance and at some point they put a whole-ass drum line and marching band in a tiny room with cubicles and the only thing I could think about for the whole scene is how absolutely DEAFENING that would be.

I really hate the term "sideloading". I preferred the original term, which was "installing software on a computer that you own"

I was thinking through shows I have been watching lately trying to think of characters, and I think the answer I am settling on is the ENTIRE cast of DS9 except for MAYBE Odo and Sisko.

I don't have insomnia, I just make bad bedtime choices, but I can relate in that every time I do that, ALL of my strategies for being a functional person just go completely out the window.

Honestly I think maybe it might be outdated at this point? Like the youths have already moved on. I was just reminded that it existed, poked my head in to see that no one I know except my teenage cousin is on there, and went back to Retro.

Similar, but older and more popular... among the youths, as I understand it. I suspect I will stick to my old people friends on Retro. :P

Does anyone I know use BeReal or is that one of those things where if I try and use it, it will just be me and my teenage cousins?

8:51 - Okay actually I am not mad at all and this is a perfect ending.

shout out to the entire generation of overachieving eldest daughters with undiagnosed ADHD who got shoved into the gifted & talented program based on test scores & then had folks demanding "why aren't you living up to your potential" for 20 years, I hope you're having a great day friends

If I had enough vacation days I would book a day off after every multi day trip. Not having to roll straight back into work the next day is a gift.

Hello, I'm a computer programmer in a film. I can access any system from any computer in seconds. I use a black-background-green-text command line interface for every task. I live and work in a windowless room full of computers, lit only by the glow of the monitors.

This is so real. I'm sitting here back in front of my work computer wishing I could sleep for another six hours but ALSO wishing I could go back and do more of that.

Well my van is packed, I'm ready to go
Just waiting here to close the door
Afraid it's packed so tight, I cannot see...


The back of the van, in the driveway, packed up to the roof. All good! Safe, probably!

How do you tell whether you're exhausted because you're sick or you're exhausted because you're exhausted all the time? Asking for a friend.
